Florida State quarterback Thomas Castellanos stood on his words on Saturday night. The Boston College transfer stunned Alabama in Week 1, standing on his quotes back in June that called out the Crimson Tide ahead of the season opener.
In an exclusive interview with On3 back in June, Castellanos said that he did not believe Alabama could not him. And on Saturday night, that rang true as Florida State knocked off No. 8 Alabama 31-17.
“People, I don’t know if they know, but you go back and watch every first game that I played in, we always start fast. I dreamed of moments like this,” Castellanos told On3 at the time. “I dreamed of playing against Alabama. They don’t have Nick Saban to save them. I just don’t see them stopping me.
“And then the ACC, I feel like I tore the ACC up by my damn self for the past two years. Now I’m with a squad. I hope people don’t think Florida State is going to be the same team it was last year because we have weapons. People can’t just sit back in zone coverage and watch me.”
He’s now taking advantage of the moment by releasing T-shirts. Thanks to NIL, he will be able to pocket the profits. The merchandise includes a T-shirt with the quote “Nick can’t save them” and another with Castellanos standing on a brick, showing that he stands on what he said.
